Having "mild" COVID is less fun than people make it out to be.

And the rest.

More of the same.

Do I know anyone (*cough* @GeoffWozniak *cough*) who'd be interested in, or know someone interested in, any of the volumes below? The book without a visible title is the 1997 Canadian Global Almanac; the rest are about computer languages, software, theory, and methodologies.

The fringe minority votes. All I can say is https://youtu.be/C01nBm6vV5c

I don't always post my Redactle results, but when I do they look like this. (Could even have had fewer guesses and better accuracy if I'd trusted my gut.)

Okay bridgy, let's see what you've got.

Fighting with an otherwise-promising-looking IndieWeb feed reader/[micro]blogging platform that's almost diametrically opposed to twelve-factor app principles.

If you can see this my Mastodon instance is running (again, after an XFS disaster).

Me: «writes a long note explaining exactly how to test a bug fix»
Me, later: «spends an hour on the phone with QA explaining how to copy files in Explorer»

It perpetuates a negative stereotype (two of my favourite people perform as sweet red-nose "Pochinko" clowns) but in this case I'll allow it.

Pro tip for Android users: install the "Shortcut Maker" app and you can create a quick link to your vaccination record. (I copied the QR code out of the vaccination record to make it even easier; the icon opens it immediately in Photos.) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rk.android.app.shortcutmaker

I believe iPhone users can do the same by creating a shortcut and adding it to the home screen. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/shortcuts/apd84c576f8c/ios https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/shortcuts/apd735880972/ios

eep!
